    Default No pressure when applying the clutch

    I let a friend drive my car to the gas station and he done fucked up my car. At first it seemed like he burned the clutch out, but every day since the night I let him drive the car, the pressure when applying the clutch decreases.

    Everytime I start the car up, I have to "pump" the clutch to get some pressure. So with this, I know that something must be leaking. My guess is the master cylynder for the clutch is leaking. Any other possibilites?

    If it is just the clutch master cylinder, is it a possible DIY job for a weekend?

    hope its not a dsm, they tend to leak into the car itself, procrastinating on fixing a problem + leaking into the car = sucks for you

    New master and get a new slave while your at it. The slave is super cheap.

    Sounds like the clutch master cylinder. It takes about 10 min to uninstall and re install. Then about 3-5 mind to bleed the clutch. No need for slave cylinder if its not bad, the new master cylinder will not have enough pressure to break your old slave cylinder.

    check to see if your clutch pedal is a little juicy, the inner seal on the master cylinder does go out and get it in the car, pull back the carpet and see if its wet. Just remember while changing the shit brake fluid WILL mess up your paint.
